Games

Drillers 8, Fungoes 6

From the Driller Dude...
Drillers go 8-6 vs fungoes. No blowouts, 3 went extras, and all were filled with stressful excitement.

From the FungoFanatic...
Fungoes dropped the first four vs the Drillers (7-1, 10-5, 3-2 and 7-2) and it looked like the team had checked out. Fungoes managed a 7-6 win in game five but then dropped the next two meetings 3-2 and 7-5. Drillers up 6 wins to 1 after the first seven games. Wakefield and Halladay pulled two wins out (4-3 and 6-3) of the next three game series with the Fungoes losing the finale, 3-0 in 11 innings, to stop the three game sweep at Fungoland. Fungoes very nearly won the last four game set taking the first three games (4-2, 5-3 and 1-0) before losing the season finale with the Drillers 5-3.
Fungoes wind up 6-8 vs Drillers.


Fungoes 5, Inmates 3

From the HEAD INMATE...
Inmates
suck.
We go 3-5 vs Fungoes today via netplay. We were out pitched, out hit, out managed, and out swore..

From the FungoFart...
Fungoes manage to win 5 of the 8 vs the Inmates today finishing 5-5 vs the Inmaties for the Season! Fungoes management however, denies the claim of 'outswearing" the Inmates. Inmates were caught stealing four times in the eight games when they were 1-17 safe or better! The swearing must have been deafening at the Baptiste Bowle!!!

Warpigs 3, Zaps 2

Game 1: Zaps 9, Pigs 7 - Jose Reyes hit a double and two triples - one with the bases loaded - for the Zap victory.
Game 2: Pigs 11, Zaps 5 - Ryan Church hit four doubles. John Lackey gets the win with a 4-inning save from Ervin Santana.
Game 3: Pigs 5, Zaps 4 - The Zaps blow a 4-1 lead. The Pigs scored 2 in the 7th, 1 in the 8th, and ended it with a bases loaded walk to Wilson Betemit in the 9th. A walk off walk.
Game 4: Pigs 6, Zaps 4 - Rich Hill gave up four homers (two to Garrett Atkins) and made 3 errors (three pitcher errors by the same guy in the same game - gotta be a record, right?). Felix Hernandez gets the win.
Game 5: Zaps 12, Pigs 11 in 12 innings - This time the Pigs blew the lead. Down 10-2, the Zaps scored 3 in the 7th and 5 in the 8th to tie it. Both teams scored in the 10th. Josh Hamilton homered off of Chris Capuano in the 12th to give the Zaps the lead. Then it got heated. Zap manager HAL tried to bring in starting pitcher Eric Bedard in the bottom of the 12th to get the save. "My bullpen is empty! My current pitcher is tired! I should be able to bring in this guy and call up a starter to take his place after the game!" Crew chief Tim Donaghy (having bet big money on a Pig win) would not allow Bedard to enter the game, however, forcing Shouse to continue. Zap Manager HAL continued to argue and was ejected, but not before digging up the pitching rubber and throwing it at the feet of Donaghy. (Side note: while digging up the pitching rubber, HAL found the fielding glove of Rich Hill.) Shouse, tired and bloodied, with his pitching arm in a sling and babbling incoherently, still managed to finish the game and claim the win for the Zaps. Warpig captain Albert Pujols, who had been lifted for a pinch hitter back in the 6th inning, commented after the game, "This is bullshit! Saving at bats, my ass! The Warpigs don't deserve a player of my caliber."

Drillers 6, Rhinos 4

The Drillers move to within a game and a half of the first place DVs while the Rhinos' lead over the Wahoos shrinks to 4 games. Things are getting interesting!
